In the FWIW department concerning margins on iMacs, I'm looking at The Mac Zone's latest catalog Vol. 72i. The listed price for the iMac is $1299, however, sweetening the deal is a FREE 64 mb EDGE memory module. Considering that you can buy these mail order for about $100, that drops the effective cost of a new iMac to $1199. Also worth noting is the necessary conclusion that at least this one reseller must be getting the iMac for less than your stated $1180. HerbVic

I was reading on NoBeige.com on Thursday that Apple was offering an employee price of $699 for the iMac. This price was described as "near cost". You've got to be kidding. If you really believe that Apple is offering employees iMac's for $699 and that it's near cost, you should bookmark Recon as your one and only news source. :) Really-I highly doubt this rumor, and if it happens to be true, then apple has got to be losing money, maybe it's a "gift" to employees or something. -travis
